Here is my winnt.sif:

For some reason it does not skip the welcome screen. I know I've seen the answer somewhere but i cant find it again. Any Ideas?

Another quick question, with using Nlite to create my ISO, it defaults to the old style installation without the background picture, do I have to go with something other than "UnattendMode = FullUnattended" to get the "normal" installation screen back?

[unattended]

UnattendSwitch = No

This needs to be set to:

UnattendSwitch = Yes

as for this:

[GuiUnattended]

OemSkipWelcome = 1

it has nothing to do with the welcome screen... it should be set to 1 if OEMPreInstall = YES, and set to 0 if OEMPreInstall = NO... having it any other way will halt the installation process...

as for your nLite question, I'm not sure what you're talking about... I used nLite as my quick guide for the first time, then just used MSFN's unattended guide and started from scratch.. you have much more conrtol, and it's very detailed... find it here Hope this helps you!

PS - You knew the frozen hard drive trick, but can't take the time to read through a guide? shame on you

This needs to be set to:

UnattendSwitch = Yes

Didnt notice it, I must have changed something in my config when i upgraded to latest version of Nlite.

Thanks.

PS I know, i was having a one of those days where i forgot to check the obvious.
